Although the USAF has left Soesterberg, after some time US aircraft were stationed again on Dutch soil. What is the airbase, where is it, and why are they there?
Tenthije has got the answer i was looking for (perhaps with a little help from Steve?), but i have to admit Dutchy has just that slight paranoia in doing these quizzes which gives him a moral victory here
There are no helos at Brunssum, although until the early 1990s there was a detachment of USArmy Hueys at Maastricht-Beek airport (now Maastricht-Aachen Airport) in support of both that, and the Maastricht HQ.

Thank you so much Arthur 😀

Israel downed 2 Syrian MiGs
last September over sea

Diplomatic sources said Israel Air Force F-16 multi-role fighters intercepted and downed two Syrian MiG-29 fighter-jets last year. The sources said the dogfight took place in September 2004 over the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

This was the first engagement between Israeli and Syrian fighter-jets since the 1980s. The sources said the air battle took place when Israel Air Force fighter-jets buzzed the Syrian city of Latakia, a port used by Iran for the shipment of weapons to Hizbullah.

The Washington-based Reform Party of Syria first provided details of the Israeli-Syrian dogfight. RPS said the air battle took place on Sept. 14, 2004, adding that both downed pilots were rescued by Syrian military helicopters, Middle East Newsline reported.

RPS, quoting a European source, said the Israeli fighter-jets used an Israeli-origin Python-4 air-to-air missile to down one of the MiG-29s. The other Syrian MiG-29 was shot down by a U.S.-origin AIM-9M Sidewinder.

The pilots of the MiG-29s were identified by RPS as Maj. Arshad Midhat Mubarak and Capt. Ahmad Al Khatib.

Diplomatic sources said the Syrian losses led President Bashar Assad to accelerate efforts to procure advanced anti-aircraft systems from Russia.

Syria has requested a range of anti-aircraft systems, including the SA-18, TOR-M1, S-300PMU2 and the S-400 systems.

The most likely Russian sale to Damascus is that of the SA-18, the sources said. They said Russia would supply the first SA-18 short-range systems – either directly or through a third country – within several months.

In January, Russia and Syria – overriding objections from Israel and the United States – agreed on the sale of the SA-18 to Damascus. Russian officials said the sale of the SA-18 would not violate any international arms agreement.

“Russia has cooperated with Syria for decades, and my country is convinced that Syria has a strong right to get defensive weapons,” Russian ambassador in Tunisia Aleksei Tserub said.
